Elizabeth December 21st, 2006

The article below needs to be preserved for the sake of history, and to inform those who are unfamiliar with my country. This crime is about as Aussie as a koala fart.

A man was punched in the face and had his beer stolen during a robbery in Melbourne’s north-east early today.Two men left the Northcote Railway Station and were walking east towards Arthurton Road just before 12.30am (AEDT), when three men approached them, a police spokesman said.One of the trio asked one of the men for a beer, which he was carrying in a plastic bag.

The man handed over the beer but when he refused to hand over more the group surrounded the two men and punched the man not carrying the beer in the face.

The offenders took six cans of beer before fleeing.

“The victims said one of the men had a chain wrapped around his hand and believed that another was also armed with a knife,” the spokesman said.

He said police were searching for three men described as a Caucasian, Asian and an Aboriginal man aged between 17 and 20.

Anyone with any information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333.
